Its easy because the cats already out of the bag, even if they made all guns completely illegal tomorrow there is no way they could possibly keep guns out of the hands of bad people since the country is already flooded with them.

I’m so proud that I left the Untied States and escaped this insanity. I like guns. Guns are not the problem. The ease of access is the problem. Most of my friends here in Europe have zero interest in visiting America now. They think they are going to be killed…..

gyiid5 Mass shootings in Europe are extremely rare ! You – I assume youre an american citizen – have mass shootings on a daily basis and only the extremely violent ones get the headlines ! In europe in rare cases a shooting happens it gets massive coverage. Maybe thats why you have a distorted view of this situation !

And what might that be? Daily rape of white, western women? Islam forcing it’s Sharia laws on the general public? The dismantling of western democracy? Beheadings? The fundamental destruction of western values? The construction of right-wing Islamic courts? The instillation of anti-american puppets? The general degradation of principled mores? A slide into the abyss orchestrated by filthy brown people? Europe is stronger than that. Civility will remain the driving force as humans face the future, not hatred……

The shooter shouldn’t have even had a gun in the first place. Upon discharged due to what amounts to a felony conviction, his crimes weren’t reported to the FBI. Had they reported him properly, he wouldn’t have been able to buy his guns in the first place.

gerry o sullivan You are right about that, this is a nation of uneducated and they are proud of it. We have a terrorist organization that fights against common sense gun laws and it’s called the NRA. This is also a product of legalized corruption.

guys why are you missing the bigger picture the guy who killed him could have just committed murder. You don”t know, I want my guns. I like deer yum When you eat cow you support the right which you claim to dislike to put it mildly

As I see it, All those dictators around the world… the US, Russia, Turkey, the middle east… We’re approaching WW3 with large steps and all that’s missing is the official declaration. But when the US go down, they pull China with them, causing world-wide financial problems that will pull russia and the EU with it… So it’s pretty sure that no matter what happens next, the enitre world is pretty much screwed at this point.

And we haven’t even started talking about the inevitability of an Increase of natural disasters world-wide, through to the fact that climate change can no longer be stopped, even though some still don’t even accept that it is real. The point of no return is already behind us. Which in total will only boost any developments towards violent conflict in the near future.

Nowhere in the world is save. Wherever you come from, the next couple of decades are only going to be worse and worse until you think it’s reached the worst possible point, just for it to keep getting even worse.

but, but, but. Criminals don’t care about gun control laws so we therefore shouldn’t have them. Pedophiles don’t care about pedophilia laws so we shouldn’t have laws against that. Bank robbers don’t care about breaking those laws. so we should abandon them too. Basically, the only people that follow laws are the people that follow laws. So all laws should be struck from the books. There. problem solved. You are welcome America.

Just wait for a situation where suddenly 2 or 3 “heroes” show up.
How do they know, who the actual killer is? How does the police know, who is the perpetrator?
“Heroes” shooting each other, can`t wait for that story. WAKE UP!

John… The Killer had a Ruger rifle I believe a 5.56 I cannot be 100% as I have lost the article where it was disclosed. Someone if you could, confirm the gun type for me. I would be so grateful. But John the man you call a hero had an AR-15 and was a trained NRA Instructor. Just making it clear so we have accurate facts.

I like Cenk’s point about how it differs in Europe… When I lived in London and I encountered a dicey situation – eg a pub brawl or something like that – I always knew it was unlikely that anyone had a gun. It does change your mental calculus for how at-risk you feel, or whether the situation is going to turn deadly. It also helps knowing that when the cops show up, they’re usually not bringing a gun into the situation either. They’re not likely to “accidentally” shoot a suspect. That brings some peace of mind, for sure.

This is one of the best comment threads I’ve read in a long time on this channel. Lots of ignorant sheeple and lots of informed people. The patriots know who I am. And for all the halfwits in here who think we aren’t trained with are guns are as smart as all the gang bangers that are the real threat to society.
